They travel faster through solids
liquid
Sound travels faster through solid materials. The 2nd fastest is liquids.
Sound travels faster through air. Though sound travels farther through solid objects (vibrations), it is faster when traveling through air waves.
seismic wave travels faster through solid rock and slower through water, but i dont know why!
Air sound travels slower when going through a solid object
Mechanical waves (like seismic waves) will travel faster through a solid than a liquid.
Faster.
sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles
why can s-wave can't travel but p-waves can
Solid
They travel faster through solids
Seismic waves travels faster through solid rock than water because their speed depends on the density and composition of material that they pass through.Solid rock is denser than water, hence the energy from seismic waves transfer faster through solid rock than in water.
The denser the faster. ie: it will travel faster through quartz than sandstone.
